Congratulations to Boston art therapist Jason Cruz! He was chosen by Bank of America as a Local Hero, a part of their Neighborhood Excellence Initiative.
“The foundation of RAW is art therapy. Our goal is to have a space where kids can really find out who they want to become..
Here you can talk about that stuff…those life choices [they’re] considering…and make art. A lot of our kids, from what they tell me, would stay in gangs or join them, would have been shot or killed…would be pregnant, would be addicted to drugs [if it weren’t for RAW]”…
